Creamed Spinach

This creamed spinach recipe is not just a side dish; it’s an experience! With its rich flavors and creamy texture, it’s a fantastic addition to any meal. Here’s how you can whip it up:

Creamed Spinach ### Ingredients

2 pounds fresh spinach, washed and trimmed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
A pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

Begin by heating a large pot of salted water until boiling. Once boiling, add the fresh spinach and blanch for about 2 minutes until wilted. Drain and cool the spinach in an ice bath to stop cooking. Once cooled, chop the spinach roughly.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Reduce the heat and add the heavy cream to the skillet. Allow the cream to simmer gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Next, add the chopped spinach to the cream mixture. Mix well to combine, and sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted and everything is well incorporated.
Season the dish with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg, if using. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until thickened to your liking.
Once ready, remove from heat and serve warm. This creamed spinach pairs perfectly with anything from steak to chicken, or simply eaten on its own.

Now you have a creamy, dreamy side dish that everyone will love. Enjoy your culinary adventure and the delightful flavors of creamed spinach!
